• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Has Anyone Found More Info About The Spyke?

No but I did read on the German Spyder Forum that speculation has the bike offered in 60 and 90hp engine versions. If they cut enough weight out of the bike and got it down to about 500 lbs the 90 hp wouldn't be terrible. Not as good as the 130 hp in my 440lb snowmobile but probably would feel the about the same as the RS.
 
Doesnt look like a sub $10k bike, no matter the engine, that just too much plastic.

A sub $10 3 wheeler wouldn't start of as plastic infact there are so few sub ten bikes i wonder why I didnt challenge it before.

:hun: Anyone got a link to those 'Spyke' drawings (or anything else 'Spyke' related for that matter)?? :dontknow: All I get when I search is motorcycle clothing or the info Docster linked to earlier, and seriously, why would anyone want to know more about those spykes?? :shocked: Well, bicycle disc brakes maybe, but since I'm never gonna be riding one of them ever again..... ;)

There are some very dark and murky 'spy shots' on the german spyder forum and they look like the bike in the patent drawings, single swing arm, no sprocket, wheels pushed forward suggesting no frunk.

I won't publish them here but you can find them yourselves in this thread if you sign up:

Pages 1, 3 & 4.

My guess is the $10K spyder will be a twist and go CVT looking at the price of Can-am quads in the 600/900cc range. Can't see it would be a m/c style manual as learning those gears would put off the young market they're after. Can't see an SE for $10K either.

If this thing is an auto with reasonable power to weight ratio my wife is in the market for one.
